Question

C(x) = mx + 500

Answer 1

Total cost as the function of shirts is :

C(x) = mx + 500 .

It is given that , The total cost to produce 100 shirts is $800.

800 = 100m + 500

m = 3

So , cost is given by :

C(x) = 3x + 500 .

Now , putting x = 1000 .

We get :

C(x) = 3x + 500

C(x) = 3(1000) + 500

C(x) = $3500

Therefore , cost of producing 1000 shirts is $3500 .

Hence, this is the required solution .
